Central configuration
text:
In celestial mechanics, a central configuration is a system of point masses with the property that each mass is pulled by the combined gravitational force of the system directly towards the center of mass, with acceleration proportional to its distance from the center. Central configurations are studied in n-body problems formulated in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, although only dimensions one, two, and three are directly relevant for celestial mechanics in physical space.
